Its December---now that's cool

 Good morning family and friends


Its december now so thats cool
Except here in Sergipe, Decembers supposed to be like the hottest month of the year and its already mad hot so woohoo

Anyways this is pretty cool too



This is Ketily and yesterday she got baptized. She is a media reference, which means she found us we didn't find her and shes been elect from the beginning. Shes also 13 and has a interesting situation at home, but we introduced her to another member her age and now they walk to church together every Sunday. It's been so cool to watch her testimony grow during the time we've been teaching her. And crazy that from one Instagram ad about the Book of Mormon, Ketily now has a new group of friends, a relationship with Jesus Christ, and the gift of the Holy Ghost in her life. 



We also have my DAWGS Erick and Dudu that got dunked yesterday 



When we invited these kids to be baptized they were literally jumping up and down on the couch they were so excited. This week we we were teaching them about the Word of Wisdom and when we asked them if they use any of the 5 things they said yea we drink coffee some days. When we told them they need to stop drinking coffee to be baptized, Dudu asked “Can I drink one more cup tonight to say goodbye?” And Erick who's 2 years younger said “No im gonna stop drinking it right now so I can receive all the blessings!”
Powerful words from my dawg
And hes right
This lil moment with those 2 had me thinking the whole week about obedience and blessings. 
Reminds me of the scripture Alma 2:41

41 And moreover, I would desire that ye should consider on the blessed and happy state of those that keep the commandments of God. For behold, they are blessed in all things, both temporal and spiritual; and if they hold out faithful to the end they are received into heaven, that thereby they may dwell with God in a state of never-ending happiness. O remember, remember that these things are true; for the Lord God hath spoken it.

I know that God's commandments are set up to help us have lasting joy in this life and make it back to Him one day. There is power in obedience. When we keep the commandments we will be blessed both temporally and spiritually. Errbody just keep choosing the right 

Love you guys

  Whats good everybody Went ghost again for a while ik  so im back rq to let you guys know what's up Basically Im in the middle of nowhere, been here for about a week and its kind of lit. Im serving in a branch for the first time in my mission. had 21 people at church yesterday in total. Looking to triple that this transfer  But lemme hit you with a story rq. So this branch could really use some families right, and its always better to have a whole family interested in the gospel together, so this week i been on the hunt for elect families in this tiny town.  Yesterday after church as we were leaving the house again we kneeled down and prayed and i asked God to help us find 2 families that we can start preparing for baptism to strengthen this branch. Then we went and worked like crazy but nothing was really working all afternoon. Finally we had 2 more houses to visit before calling it night. They were two middle aged brothas i had talked to a couple nights before. Th...

  Whats good everybody   Im still here in Brazil, sorry for being so terrible at emailing   These first 2 months of 2026 have not been easy, but I have learned so much. Im in inner city Maceio, and my ward hasn't had a baptism in at least 7 months. Ive also spent my 2 transfers here training new missionaries and its so fun but has its challenges. With all of that being said, heres a story rq.   During the week of Christmas, me and my comp started praying to find a family to teach. That week we made a contact in the park with a straight chiller named Pedro. He pointed to where his house was and told us come back the next day, and we left a plan of salvation pamphlet with him. The next day we come back to the house he pointed to, but the people that lived there was not the family of Pedro. Brodie capped, but it happens, we keep it pushing     2 days later were in the same area, we start talking to this older dude and his buddys. Brodies hyped cuz im Amer...
